<div dir="ltr"><br><div style>I've been awfully short on project time, but I remain really interested in seeing open source mechanical CAD become a practical reality. I've mentally earmarked future (hoped for) less busy time for working on this, so I'd like to at least keep apprised of what's going on with these efforts in the meanwhile. I could probably make Fab night this Thursday; would this be a good time for getting back into freecad?</div>
